Galaxy’s GTX 480 SuperOverclock – The World’s fastest single GPU video card!
Vantage
Vantage is Futuremark’s latest test. It is really useful for tracking changes in a single system – especially driver changes. There are two mini-game tests, Jane Nash and Calico and also two CPU tests, but we are still focusing on the graphics performance. Here is a scene from Vantage’s second mini-game.
Let’s go right to the graphs and first check the basic tests with the default benchmark scores:
We see an interesting lineup. Unfortunately for our purposes, Vantage is a meaningless test with meaningless numbers to attempt to compare one video card’s performance to another – even in the same system. However, the mini games might show a bit more as they are actually benching framerates.
Let’s move on to PC games and to real world situations!
i read that 2 gtx 460 nvidia video cards in sli are blowing out the 480 version so its better to buy 2 gtx 460 cards and set them in sli then buying 1 gtx 480 card because 1 gtx 480 is really wasting money
There are always advantages of a single powerful GPU over multi-GPU. You also have no upgrade path from GTX 460 SLI as you do with a single GTX 480 or GTX 580.
I am running benchmarks for a brand new article that will cover this subject: EVGA FTW GTX 460 vs. Galaxy GTX 460, versus GTX 480 and GTX 580. It should be up in a week or so.
I couldn’t concur more. Effectively Said!
